#Simple mechanisms explained

Below you’ll find animated diagrams and explanations of how various mechanisms work. Some of these have been crucial to major evolutions in mechanisms and technology, and allow us to do anything from fire weaponry to make cars move with the press of a pedal. Mechanical engineering is a complex and beneficial discipline, and this is a great chance to experience some of the fruits of that industry’s labour.

So if you were ever curious about how things worked inside the case, this is the ideal chance to find out. In the same way we love taking servers apart to figure out how to stream content and run amazing sites. Best online poker website possible would be run with complex electronic circuitry, and the same goes for the amazing mechanisms that we see in the world around us. So take a look, and get learning!

Radial engines are used in aircraft. Today, however, most aircraft use turbine engines:

Reciprocating movements power steam engines in locomotives:

Sewing machine:

Manual transmission mechanism, also known as “stick shift” is used to change gears in vehicles:

This mechanism is called constant-velocity joint and is used in front-wheel drive vehicles:

Torpedo-boat destroyer system is used to destroy fleet in naval military operations:

The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine which uses a rotary design to convert pressure into a rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons:
